In 1841

Am I missing something? I can't see Mary (Ann) on that record...

No she isn’t, but the rest of her family are.

There is a marriage for an Edward Bourns (not Bourne) to a Mary Smith

20 July 1846 in West Bromwich, Staffordshire.

Edward's father is William, and Mary Smith's father is Silvanus Smith (which would tie in with the baptism someone found below.)

this is from familysearch.org


Considering they moved to Staffordshire if I've found the correct census for them this seems likely to be their marriage?

Thanks!, I already had Edward's father as William so that looks like a very good match.

Thanks everyone.

This information has been *very* useful and has helped me link in some DNA ancestors that I had previously failed to connect.
